Angela Lear’s scholarly enterprise leads her to a fruitful and provocative quest concerning the composer’s precise intentions. At her best (in, say, the Second Sonata’s Lento con gran espressione) she is a selflessly communing interpreter, though her lack of adrenalin in the A flat Polonaise hardly ignites a sense of national pride and passion. Elsewhere, her clarity and restraint are far removed from the heat and dust generated by more seasoned ‘virtuoso’ pianists and if her lecture recital is sometimes prickly and defensive it never obscures her devotion to musical ‘truth’.'
